Close up angles are used in Photography in order to show details. It is used when the photographer wants the viewer to only concentrate on a certain part of an object or a subject; for example, in the first picture, it is obvious that the photographer want his/her viewers to only focus on the insect, hence why everything else in the background is blurred; this is very common when looking at close ups - the background is often plain or blurred so that any distraction is taken away from the picture. The same principles are shown in the second and third picture.
Sometimes, photographers show something happening in the close up, some sort of action. In the fifth picture, it is evident the subject is taking a picture and by excluding the person's face, the photographer is able to make sure that the viewer does not pay interest to the person nor the camera, but rather to the scene and what is happening in the scene, a person capturing something. This adds curiosity to the viewer's mind and gets them to think more about the picture.
